Do you smell any burning coming from inside the adaptor?

Also if it's your speakers you could try turning off the MIC in sound options, usually even if you dont have a mic plugged in it pics up noise from your har ddrive or something else (magnetic waves? ).
nope, no burning. I can only hear the sound when I put the pack up to my ear. Other than that I don't hear it. The laptop is like 5 years old...an HP. I want to get a new laptop, but I'm not gonna buy a cheap one just to have it. If/when I get a new one I want it to be a good one. You have to spend more than 1000 dollars to get a machine that is going to be fast enough...and not too heavy.
